About this listen

 Two hundred years after the Forbidding was broken, Santhenar is locked in war with the lyrinx ‒ intelligent, winged predators from the void who will do anything to gain their own world. Despite the development of battle clankers and mastery of the crystals that power them, humanity is losing. The enemy is destroying their nodes of power, one by one. Tiaan, a lonely crystal worker, is experimenting with a new type of crystal when she begins to have extraordinary visions. The crystal has woken her talent for geomancy, the most powerful of the Secret Arts, and the most perilous. Geomancy is a magic that humanity's allies and enemies alike are desperate to control, but it is deadly to the user. Falsely accused of sabotage by her rival, Irisis, Tiaan flees for her life. She is hunted by the alien lyrinx, Ryll, who plans to use her in his dreadful flesh-forming experiments. Only geomancy can save her. Struggling to control her talent, Tiaan follows her visions all the way to Tirthrax, greatest peak in the Three Worlds, where a nightmare awaits her...©2001 Ian Irvine (P)2013 Bolinda Publishing Classics Epic Fantasy

Critic Reviews

"Ian Irvine is arguably the most inventive fantasy author to emerge in recent years ... A page turner of the highest order. Formidable!" (SFX)
"Ian Irvine has produced one of those rarities in the fantasy genre, and that is a unique, well-thought-out world coupled with a well-written storyline. A gripping read for Irvine fans or a fresh new series for any other readers." (Enigma (UK))
"Readers of Eddings, Goodkind and Jordan will lap this one up." (Starlog (UK))

Great narration as per usual. The story was good; however, even with the lengthy descriptions of all the objects I sometimes found it hard to imagine what they looked like.
I enjoyed this, but for me it isn't as good as the 'view from the mirror quartet'

Good story
